There was a myth in Bollywood that Ad filmmakers do not make good Hindi commercial film directors as directing an ad and directing a full length film was considered two different ball games. Initially, it was Satyajit Ray who made a crossover from being an ad film director to a feature film director and was successful at both. Things have changed in the last two decades as Bollywood has witnessed an influx of quite a few ad film directors taking the plunge and making it big as Bollywood film directors. The new breed of young ad directors have made the switch over easily and offered a whole lot of innovative ideas that have added to the success of their films. We look at 10 of the most successful ad film makers who have left a mark in Bollywood with their film direction.
